Americans Vote in Midterms as Trump Faces Congressional Test
Democrats are favored to win the House while the Senate remains uncertain as more than 57 million Americans cast early ballots, analysts said.
- Americans cast ballots on Tuesday in midterm elections for all 435 House of Representatives and 35 Senate seats, with Decision Desk HQ projecting Democrats 241–194 in the House and a narrower 52–48 Senate majority.
- Voters head to the polls amid rising inflation and fuel prices linked to the war in Iran, framing this election as a referendum on President Donald Trump's second term and his administration's policies.
- Record-Breaking early voting saw more than 57 million ballots cast by Monday, while the Supreme Court rejected an emergency Trump administration bid to block California from counting 20,000 mail-in ballots.
- Democrats need a net gain of three House seats and four Senate seats to control Congress, which would empower them to investigate Trump's administration and block his judicial appointments.
- Trump has threatened to become 'Mr. Veto' if Republicans lose control of both houses, signaling potential legislative gridlock and increased reliance on executive orders through his remaining term.
